Artwork

Once a fragrance is chosen, it’s paired with original artwork created in the Brooklyn studio of our artist-founder, Neil Plotkin.

These studies are what wrap each candle box in translucent vellum, and every candle and diffuser includes a signed handmade print.

 

Editioned by Design

We release artwork and fragrance together in limited editions — finite sets that evolve over time. When an edition ends, the artwork created for it does not return.

 

Art in Every Box

A monotype print is gifted to every owner of a Still Life product. Each print is inked and printed by hand individually. The print a unique work – sometimes created with different inks, sometimes drawn on after the printing process and sometimes painted with watercolors.

The artwork is assigned as part of the release — customers do not choose individual pieces. But if you are interested in purchasing other images or prints in larger sizes please contact us directly at HeyGuys@TheStillLife.co
